[3.32] %item helpfile needs update
|
The help file for %item currently reads:
| Quote: |
item
Syntax: %item(list, n)
returns the nth item of the given stringlist.
As of version 2.06, this function can also be used to retrieve the nth key in a database variable.
Example:
#SHOW %item("Athos|Bertrand|Caesar",3)
displays: Caesar |
It retrieves the nth value not the nth key of the database variables. |

Are you sure that it is giving the nth value of a db variable? Can you give an example? It is supposed to give the nth key, as the helpfile says. |

No, Fixgar is correct. %item returns the *value* and not the key. Use %dbkey for the key. I'll update the help file for %item
